America’s Most Tolerant Cities, from San Francisco to New York
The Daily Beast ^ | 1/16/2012

Posted on 01/17/2012 12:57:34 PM PST by wolfpat

As Americans celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr., the ideals of tolerance and civil rights are once again highlighted. And while segregated schools and lunch counters may be things of the past, modern battles over female contraception and same-sex marriage have kept the boundaries and definition of civil liberties on the national stage.

Liberalism on the march. The Number 1 city, Durham, NC, is a crime infested hole.

Tolerant unless you dare to recite the Bible.

In lib speak “tolerant” almost always means “immoral”.

The image in the Miami photo says “One people...” I thought we were supposed to celebrate DIEversity. Isn't “one people” and DIEversity opposite and not synonymous?

I would say that San Francisco is an intolerant city.

Last time I checked, families were still voting with their feet and fleeing San Francisco.

Go figger.

At least in L.A., the ese’s have to speak English because they know most people with money speak in English. In Miami, I almost never heard anyone converse in English for days.

SF is the most intolerant city I have ever been in when it comes to tolerating other people’s ideas and beliefs.

‘Tolerant,’ which is left-wing codespeak for being willing to accept a rigid code of pontificated cult leftist ideals without question, or get the jackboot to the teeth.

These cities are “tolerant”, if by tolerant you mean that people should all look completely different but think exactly the same way.

Leftism always wants “tolerance” of EVIL. As a society-—tolerance of evil will destroy the civil society. In CA they are allowing the government schools to destroy the innocence and sexual identity formation of children by indoctrinating them to think something so intrinsically evil-—as sodomy—is a “right” and “good”. It is creating the Afghani worldview-—where sex is meaningless and just for recreation and women are cattle. Sodomy is their recreation and the little boys-—in harems—want to grow up with the great aspirations of sodomizing boys.

Yes, Sex Ed is the easiest way to destroy morality in young children. The focus on the body parts without emotional ability to understand sex-—reduces it to an animal act. It makes young kids hostile and make fun of the opposite sex because they are “differnent”-—kids hate to be different-—and it puts disgusting ideas into their heads——which would never be there unless some pervert was molesting their bodies or minds.

Sex Ed is child abuse and will confuse children-—put their focus on sex organs during latency when it would never be thought about unless the children were being abused. Innocence is crucial to normal sex identity formation. (Not kidding, people).

It is to normalize promiscuity—make govt. agencies necessary-—meaninglessness in sex—(more profits for govt. agencies)-—to destroy the natural family (more profits for govt unions) and all biological relationships destroyed (Marxism).

Destroying the innocence of childhood destroys the emotional health of children. Govt. wants addicts, dysfunctional people, weak people unable to form long lasting relationships-—they want to stay relevant to society. Healthy societies need little government.

JERRY BROWN, you sick pervert, GET THE MARXISTS OUT OF EDUCATION And throw out Sex Ed and DOE-—designed to destroy Christian Ethics—and morality. (BK Eakman, Cloning of the American Mind).

Oh yeah. We’re REAL tolerant here in Zimbabwe With a Ballpark. Unless you’re white. And/or Republican. And/or Christian. And/or married. And (insert deity of your choice here as long as it’s not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) help you if you’re all of the above.

A couple years back our megachurch’s pastor, a white guy who specifically keeps his focus on the Bible and avoids getting into anything political like the plague—but doesn’t shy away from calling sin sin—got invited to speak to the Durham City Council at their MLK Day breakfast. He got the invite because our church does a massive amount of charity work in and around the entire Triangle, specifically Durham. Well, you would’ve thought they’d invited Adolf Hitler to speak. The local lefties went NUTS. This is a man of God who’s never had a whiff of scandal about him, welcomes all races and all backgrounds to his church, and never preaches politics AT ALL...but because he was white, and because he *personally* believes that homosexuality is a sin against God and marriage is between one man and one woman, he came within an eyeblink of being disinvited. THAT is Durham’s vaunted “tolerance.”

Durham is the unholy marriage of a black racist Democratic power structure who’s bound and determined to “get back” what they think the white man has taken from them, with a huge influx of liberal white academics who see a city of 220,000 people as a perfect Petri dish for their failed socialist policies. We ain’t exactly Beserkley, but it’s not for lack of trying, believe me.

This place is a crime-ridden craphole with horrible schools, high taxes, and terrible, intrusive government. But as long as it’s “tolerant,” I guess none of that matters.

"I would say that San Francisco is an intolerant city."

The same can be said about Seattle. It is tolerant towards ethnic minorities, and alternative lifestyles. But, support Christianity, deny global warming or dare to favor school choice and you will experience immediate and in your face retribution.
